Par šo filmu

The film begins with an old man who has long been absent as a father (Eric TSANG), picking up his son (Shawn YUE), who is suffering from bipolar disorder, from a mental hospital. Both men are in deep remorse for the accident that caused the death of the mother (Elaine JIN). The tension and anxiety boil as they stay with each other in a tiny subdivided flat. As time passes, they realize the pain between one another is not the only confrontation that awaits them; but also to face the cruel and unjust world that they are living in.

Excellent movie - a story of a young man suffering mental problem. The focus, however, is not about the sickness, but the real situation as depicted in the movie and faced by people at grass-root level in Hong Kong: coffin size living space, non-existence of public medical support, stressful working life style, hypocritic family relationship and so on. Recommend to those who really want to know the city of Hong Kong, instead of just treating it a city for shopping in the shinny malls and drinking in the pubs.

Support Hong Kong movies with cares about metal illness patients! Excellent actors and script!
